Rain Storm
We had another day dedicated to showing how our bodies can be used to create music.
We started off the class by going around the room and each student made a noise with their bodies- some quacked like ducks, some snapped, but by the end we had 28-ish unique sounds each student had come up with. Then, we picked 5 of those sounds as a class and came up with a symbol to represent them. Using the symbols, they were able to write out their own little composition of sounds. The entitled their masterpiece "The Pink Fluffy Bandits."
After they had a chance to make their own class composition, I had them get into a circle and use body percussion to create a rainstorm. It was so convincing, that we had a teacher from another classroom come to figure out how we were making it rain in our class. The students loved this activity!
